Hon. Daniel Manning, ex Secretary of
the Treasury, died at the home of his son
in Albany last Saturday afternoon. He
had never been well since the attack which
he suffered in Washington, while a member
of the cabinet in March 1856, though some
months of absolute rest and a voyage to
Europe had bettered his health until the last
and fatal attack came "A month ago. His
resignation from the cabinet was finally nc
cepted by the President last March. After
his return from Europe he be anne the pres
ident Of the Western National bank of New
York Mr. Manning's career was in many
respects a lyrical American one. He was
the son of an Albany baker and at nine
years old tegan his upward fight in the
world as a carrier and errand boy for the
Argus OF that city. He rose step by step
urOll he was in complete control of that
leading Democratic newspaper and trust
ed friend equal and counsellor of the fore
most men of his party in the state He
was a fierce partisan, aud was for years
chairman of the Democratic state commit
tee but it is TO be said for him that in the
main his affiliations were with the better
elements of his party. 1t is undoubtedly
true that when the Cleveland admiustra-
ton came in he accepted the Secretaryship
Of the Treasury because of the urgent per
sonal solicitation of Mr. Cleveland, and
against his own personal inclination, That
he made an able, safe and conservative
head of the Treasury department no one
questions. He went TO his duties in Wash
ington with a reputation rs "A politician first
of all, and it is said 10 have been a source
Of great annoyance 10 him that the party
leaders looked on him as politician, a man
ager of party affairs, and dispenser of
patronage, and nothing more, lie was anx
ious 10 prove himself more than this. -as
fitted by natural ability, education and ex-
perience to administer ably the most i'm
portant of the government departments,
and he applied himself with such unremit
ting labor both day and night to this work
that he broke down under the strain, aug
mented as it was by the steady aud over
whelming pressure from politicians who had
been out of power for quarter of cen
tury.
